TORONTO -- Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco was brilliant for eight innings, matching his season high with 14 strikeouts, but he didn't get much help from his teammates in a 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Friday night.
Adam Cimber had been working on six scoreless appearances for the Indians, but Kevin Pillar took a low breaking ball over the left-field wall to walk off the Indians in the 11th.
"Thought the slider was the right pitch there; [I] just didn't execute it and he smacked it," Cimber said.
The Indians have now lost 10 walk-offs this season, tying them with the Chicago Cubs for the second most in the Majors, trailing only Minnesota with 12.
"When you're pitching in a situation like that and you make a mistake, sometimes you go home," Indians manager Terry Francona said.

Carrasco came into Friday night trailing only Chris Sale for the highest swinging strike rate among American League starters, and since the All-Star break, he's posted the fourth-highest strikeouts per nine for qualified Major League starters with 11.57.
Carrasco's 12th strikeout gave him 1,095 career strikeouts, tying him for 10th in Indians franchise history with Mike Garcia. An inning later, he got Kendrys Morales to record his 13th strikeout of the game, giving him 200 punchouts on the season for the third time in his career.

The Blue Jays got to Carrasco in the fifth, scoring an unearned run when Jose Ramirez let a ground ball get by him at third for an error. The fielding gaffe allowed Rowdy Tellez to advance to third base and come around on a sacrifice fly in the next at-bat.
"I thought he was really good. He got us deep in the game," Francona said. "[He] used the fastball and breaking ball, some of his split changes. Even when we didn't convert a couple plays, he made pitches with men on base and really pitched well."
Two innings later, Carrasco allowed a leadoff double to Randal Grichuk before Tellez took a first-pitch slider to center field for another double to score Grichuk. After a wild pitch allowed Tellez to advance to third, Carrasco got Aledmys Diaz to strike out swinging, then he forced a flyout to end the threat.
He finished the night throwing 113 pitches, allowing just two runs (one earned) on six hits with one walk.
"I still felt strong in the bottom of the eighth," Carrasco said. "I feel fine right now."

Yan Gomes gave the Indians the lead briefly in the sixth inning, when he scooped a low fastball over the left-field wall for a solo shot. The pitch was just 1.01 feet off the ground, the third-lowest pitch hit for a home run this season. Gomes also holds the record for the lowest pitch hit for a home run this season, on Aug. 21, when he took Red Sox reliever Tyler Thornburg deep to left field.
"He went down and got one the time before and hit the ball to center," Francona said. "Then he went down and got another one for the home run. That's good to see -- he's been swinging pretty good."

Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada kept the Indians off balance with his changeup, which he threw 42 percent of the time. He went six innings, allowing just two runs with five strikeouts and five hits.
"He kind of pitches backwards, kind of pitches off of his changeup," Francona. "It's such a good pitch that he can even elevate it, and he throws that fastball off the same look and gets a lot of fly balls off of it."
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Indians can't convert in 11th: After Gomes and Greg Allen led off the inning with a single and a walk, Rajai Davis failed to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but it went right to pitcher Jake Petricka, who got the lead runner at third for a fielder's choice. Lindor couldn't cash in the runners, but Kipnis walked to load the bases and bring Ramirez to the plate. The 25-year-old third baseman hit a grounder into the shift to end the inning, leaving the bases juiced.

N. Ramirez gets in and out of jam: In the ninth inning, an errant throw from Gomes allowed Pillar to go from first to third on a steal attempt. With the winning run just 90 feet away, reliever Neil Ramirez got Richard Urena to fly out to center to end the threat.

SOUND SMART
Edwin Encarnacion singled in his first at-bat and is now hitting .395 in 10 games against the Blue Jays.
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS
In the third inning, Davis was so confident that a 3-2 pitch was out of the zone, he dropped his bat just as the ball crossed home plate. It was a good guess, as the pitch bounced in the dirt allowing Davis to reach base leading off the inning. He would later steal second, but that was as far as he would go.

UP NEXT
Adam Plutko (4-5, 5.04 ERA) takes the mound against the Blue Jays on Saturday at 4:07 p.m. ET at Rogers Centre. It's Plutko's second start of the season against Toronto, whom he held to just three runs over 7 1/3 innings in the second of two games on May 3. The 26-year-old right-hander has recorded just one quality start in four outings since being recalled on Aug. 19. The Indians will face Blue Jays rookie Sean Reid-Foley (1-2, 5.51) for the first time this year. The 23-year-old right-hander is coming off a dominant 10-strikeout performance in which he allowed one run over seven innings against the Marlins.
